The Indian Creek Band Chickamauga Cherokee Inc. (www.chickamaugacherokee.org) of Deltona, Florida in conjunction with the Green Dot for Earth (www.greendotforearth.org) will be having a gathering at the Lincoln Memorial and Reflecting Pool Area beginning at 9:30A.M in an attempt to draw attention to the fact that many mixed blood Cherokees and the Cherokee Freedmen have been denied their rights and freedoms by the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma.

The CNO continually denies that many of us even exist by saying that ALL Cherokees walked the Trail of Tears during the forced removal of our people by the United States Government. Even history proclaims that many Cherokees his in the mountains and valleys to escape that dreadful time in our history as a race of people. During this period many tribes joined together forming the Chickamauga Confederacy such as the Shawnee, Chickasaw, Choctaw and Cherokee in an attempt to regain the lands that were sold by a few Cherokee citizens who did not have the authority to do so.

At that time there was a law amongst the Cherokee that if one sold land to the whites that it was punishable by death and even that law was carried out when members of the Ridge Family were killed for what they had done. We are not trying to usurp any of the funding that currently is given to the three recognized tribes of the Cherokee but we are after the Recognition that is due us and that is that we are Cherokee the same as any Cherokee that currently lives on any reservation or is a member of any Federal Recognized Tribe. We have been ostracized by those tribes because we fought on for what was taken from us and now the CNO would attempt to strip us of even being able to say that we are Cherokee when may of us have more Native American Blood flowing through our veins than some of those that are on the Rolls that the BIA goes by. I am not saying that anyone having ¼ Indian Blood is anymore Indian that someone who only has 1/8 Indian Blood, but I do believe just like Dragging Canoe said ‘That if you have one drop of Cherokee Blood, then you are Cherokee through and through.

If anyone desires more information on this march, please contact Jean McKillip at no_moccasin_woman@yahoo.comor Director Terry Nichols of the Green Dot for Earth at TINICHOLS@mail.com or myself Kermit Manis at peacefuleagle@embarqmail.com.

We are seeking all those that will march with us on this monumental occasion to meet us there on that date.

Wado,

Kermit ‘Peaceful Eagle’ Manis, Wild Potato Clan Chief of The Indian Creek Band Chickamauga Cherokee, Inc.
